Chapter 8 One by one, we'll take them down.

There were a lot of people in the house, including Jiang's parents and a few neighbors, who were the most gossipy of them all.

Jiang Jianni didn't want to pay attention to them, so she greeted them and tried to go inside.

Unexpectedly, Grandma Li from next door grabbed her arm and asked with a smile, "Jiani, don't go! I heard you found someone. Tell me about him."

Others gathered around, asking similar questions all at once.

Jiang Jianni was dizzy from the questions, but forced a smile and said, "Please sit down, I have to teach tomorrow and prepare my lessons."

"I'll go prepare my lesson first."

Grandma Li wouldn't let go of her at all, and dragged her to the sofa.

A gap immediately appeared on the already crowded straight solid wood sofa.

The people on both sides pressed Jiang Jianni down and made her sit in the middle of the gap:

"Don't rush. How long does it take to prepare a lesson?"

"Exactly, you're a college student. You can learn those things just by looking at them. Why would you need to prepare lessons?"

"Didn't you find someone? Tell us about your partner."

Jiang Jiani looked at Yang Yuemei.

Yang Yuemei guiltily turned her head away, not daring to look at her.

The Jiang family's eldest son and second daughter, aged 25 and 23 respectively, have always been known in the residential compound as families with difficulty getting married.

One has too many potential partners to choose from, while the other absolutely refuses to find a partner.

As a result, the parents in the residential compound would scold their own children, saying things like, "Won't you end up like so-and-so from the Jiang family, still unable to find a wife/get married at such an advanced age?"

Yang Yuemei had been holding a grudge for a long time.

Now that Jiang Jianni has not only found a boyfriend, but he's also good-looking and has a stable job, she can't help but show him off.

As a result, when he showed off, he ended up bringing people into his home.

Although Jiang Jianni is good-looking, highly educated, and has a good job, she has a bad temper.

Everyone thought that with Jiang Jianni's temper, she would only ever be an old maid who could never get married.

Who knew that not only did she get married, but her partner also had a secure job.

Everyone was both jealous and curious, and they really wanted to know who the sucker was.

Looking at her mother's actions and then at the expressions of the aunts, uncles, and sisters-in-law, what else could Jiang Jianni not understand?

She took a deep breath: "Then please wait a moment, I'll put my things away first and then I'll talk to everyone."

Now no one stopped her: "Go ahead, go ahead."

As soon as she entered the house, Jiang Yanni quickly stopped her, anxiously asking, "Sister, why didn't you chase them away?"

"They're up to no good; they just want to see you make a fool of yourself."

Jiang Jianni sneered: "It's still uncertain who will laugh at whom."

Looking at her spirited demeanor, Jiang Yanni said worriedly, "Sister, be careful. If it really doesn't work out, if it really doesn't work out..."

The little girl gritted her teeth: "If all else fails, just call me, and I'll grab a broom and chase them out."

"Anyway, I'm young, so it's normal for me to throw a tantrum."

Jiang Yanni chuckled.

He casually pinched his younger sister's still chubby cheeks: "They're a long way from bullying me."

Let's see who can prevail over whom.

As soon as she went out, Sister Wang clicked her tongue twice and joked, "Having a boyfriend really makes a difference; she's all dressed up now."

Jiang Jianni smiled slightly: "My boyfriend's heart is with me, so of course I should dress up nicely."

"If your partner's heart belongs to someone else, forget about dressing up, you'd be tempted to chop them up with a knife, wouldn't you say, Sister-in-law Wang?"

Sister-in-law Wang's face turned ashen, and she couldn't speak.

Her husband has been involved with a young vixen for the past two years and wants a divorce every day because he thinks she's not as young as she used to be.

She did go and dress up, but she had been a housewife for over ten years.

She's a master at housework, but terrible at dressing up.

The more she dressed up, the more the men mocked her. She refused to divorce him, and the house was in chaos every day. The children even hid at school and refused to come home.

Usually, no one brings this up to her face, so she just pretends not to know.

Who would have thought that Jiang Jiani would suddenly bring it up in front of me today?

She wanted to get angry, but looking at Jiang Jiani, who hadn't been named and looked completely innocent, and the other people who were watching the show with amusement, she could only force a smile and say:

"I... I just remembered I have something to do at home, so I'll head back now."

Wang's sister-in-law's hasty departure sparked a new round of speculation about her family's affairs.

Jiang Jianni, seeing that she was no longer needed, was about to leave when she was pulled back: "Hey, Jianni, don't go, don't go!"

"I'm talking to you about your business, where are you going?"

Grandma Li asked with a smile, "Jiani, I heard you and your boyfriend have already registered your marriage? Have you thought about having children yet?"

"You should have a son, because you'll need him to support you in your old age."

Jiang Jianni deliberately asked, "What if you can't have a son?"

Grandma Li said matter-of-factly, "It's no big deal if your first child is a girl. If your second child is also a girl, you can give her away or abandon her at the orphanage. Just have another one. As long as you're willing to have another child, you'll definitely be able to have a son."

Jiang Jianni smiled, not giving anyone else a chance to speak, and asked in return, "Really? Then Grandma Li, you've given birth to three sons, it seems you're really enjoying a life of luxury."

Did they take you to see the Forbidden City or climb the Great Wall in Beijing?

"Oh, no."

"Did I take you to the zoo to see the animals and take pictures on horseback?"

"Huh? There aren't any?"

"Well, even if I didn't take you out to play, I at least brought you some good food, right?"

"Let's leave aside beef, lamb, pork, chicken, duck, and fish, you've definitely eaten those before. But have they ever taken you to eat seafood?"

"What about mantis shrimp, prawns, freshwater prawns, peach blossom shrimp, mussels, clams, oysters, scallops, geoduck, sea cucumbers, abalone, swimming crabs, tuna, octopus, etc.? These are all common seafood. You must be tired of eating them, right?"

Grandma Li couldn't sit still any longer: "Well, my grandson should be washing his feet by now. I'll go back and boil some water for him. You two chat."

Seeing that she was about to leave, Jiang Jianni deliberately said, "Oh dear, Mother-in-law, isn't your son very filial? Does your grandson need you to go back and boil water just to wash his feet?"

Grandma Li didn't utter a sound, her face pale, and she quickly walked away on her bound feet.

After two people were driven away by her, everyone realized that Jiang Jianni must have encountered something unpleasant outside, and they had just walked into a trap.

Afraid that their own troubles would be brought up, they quickly stood up and made excuses to leave.

After they all left, Yang Yuemei sighed, "They are your elders, how could you talk to them like that?"

Jiang Jianni immediately let out a series of cold laughs.
